Amanda Chapel; I thought she was gone?I’m not getting a real life sex change.I like being a guy in life.

Jean Baudrillard was explaining in “Symbolic Exchange and Death”:Power comes from the virtual.I have no problem wearing the pants in life,but I see benefit to the symbolism of being a woman.I just want to be able to talk about sex online without being censored.I’m tired of being wussy like Dr. Phil. I want to be dirty old crone like Dr. Ruth.I see no benefit to being just a social butterfly.

I think if you were true to your art, you’d cut off your wiener.

Sincerely,

– Amanda ChapelAfter realizing that Amanda Chapel was an alias for a group of people and not actually a woman, it dawned on me that the marketing possibilities for an entity that is perceived as being a female are different then an entity that is perceived as being male. I am conceiving of creating a female fake alias and I am curious as to your input on the pros and cons of a virtual sex changes. I have seen pages owned by women on facebook that seem to be plainly pornographic, because of their status as women they are not disabled. My artwork is not pornographic, but does deal with gender issues. After having three aliases destroyed by the facebook police, I feel that I can not safely be honest as a man. Many have said to me that I should stop using facebook if I don’t like it. Being that faebook is an academic monopoly I do not have that option. There is no other place to have a dialogue, but I am not comfortable being a man on facebook any more, even though I am quite comfortable with my heterosexual lifestyle in life. I am busy creating a female identity. I have figured that facebook is using video these days. So I am going to have an actress voice all the random blips of responses that an alias would have to say if it were female. I do not believe it is a form of artificial intelligence in that I do not believe my female will have any intelligence at all. Just the way facebook wants it. I know it is a strange compromise, but I do not feel the precedent and law involved in social networking is fair to any extent. It seems OK for a female to be aggressive in making “friends”, but threatening for a man to do so. I am very tired of the double standard. I am waiting for facebook to disable me and I will return as a cross dresser. I do hope you understand I am not changing myself… this is why I am sending this letter as a warning… I am changing my PR ability. I will not be leaving my real life girl, child or opinions. I am simply creating an identity to get my opinions out there. I look forward to hearing your ideas on this issue.

Marketing is just a form of a persuasion in capitalism. The key word is persuasion. In convincing another of our point of view there has to be a reference point. A language and understanding of what the negatives and positives of each action and object contains. For there to be a dialogue of negative then positive there must be point of agreement. If there is no point of agreement then what you have is all negative. That is where I am right now with the administration of facebook. All negative and they will not give me a reference point to act in a positive. facebook as a marketing tool claims that they act in their own discretion (which is the quality of being discreet). If the rules are arbitrary, then I can only perform a negative. The only logistical decision I have is to react in a deconstructionist manner. Being that facebook is the dominant platform of persuasion… (it is the only academic social network that protects the elitism of an academy).. and being that the terms are arbitrary and opaque, I can not market myself and it is of little use to pretend that it is a network of liberal thought and argument. I do not see any competing platform to share thoughts in yet… so therefor meaning is virtual and arbitrary. I must multiply my negatives because to multiply these negatives with a positive will give me a negative. This is the marketing state we are in right now. To use the Coors beer analogy: The reference of the beers actually needing to cool ended up not having meaning. There was no negative to reference, and therefor no positiveclick here to see what in the hell I’m talking about in Beer Marketing

I wish facebook itself could clarify these issues.I find it obnoxious that a company supposively worth more then the country of Bolivia’s net economy does not clearly state these things. Further… they do not respond promptly. It is important for facebook to have people ready to have a dialogue about what they feel is out of bounds. Any specific codes are obviously precedent. I do not expect to log in each time and agree to the Mosaic Ten Commandments…. but an on going dialog with official representatives would be nice. It is obvious that facebook doesn’t care because they have no concern for the community.

I’m ANGRY that I still have not received a response from facebook.I get the feeling that the problem of facebook is that it puts too much responsibility into one enterprise.

Anyone says anything out of line and Zuckerburg goes fascist because the Volvo Soccer moms get angry (the same people who buy the majority of products and thus fuel the economy… the ladies that changed your diapers).

I don’t know what to think. I think they are confused themselves. Someone must of complained… and they are trying to get details. This is my guess. I also get the feeling that the different departments of facebook do not have a lot of communication. I noticed that it was mentioned about how social networking does not allow us to create social working “Firewalls” based on the category of connection. If facebook had had these firewalls I would not be spending my week begging Zuckerburg to reinact my account. Many people when they see a nude body drawn get upset. I can understand their feelings. I am not completely insensitive. I am not a cartoon version of an artist who thinks he should get away with a public exhibition of the “Virgin Mary” painted in elephant dung (if you remember recent Brooklyn Museum history).

Jeff Pulver mentioned that facebook is more then Web 2.0… that facebook is the Operating System of Web 2.0. So I guess that makes MYSPACE the MS-DOS. So when is MYSPACE going to upgrade and put a Windows shell in? The tyranny of one O.S. can not continue. PROGRAMMERS…. someone can make a lot of money (and I’m only telling you this because I’m not one)…

Listen:If facebook is the O.S.why not make a widget that is full facebook Ap compatible…. and yet could be put in any BLOG or even MYSPACE. This would bust the whole system open. It is only a matter of time before some programmer NABSTERS the OS away from these college politically correct fascists. why doesn’t myspace do it? RUPERT MURDOCH… I know your making too much money off your satelite business to see any profit from this. But if you really are against the tyranny of the “Left” like you claim! PLEASE DO THIS. facebook is the STALINISM of the 21st century. WE NEED A FREE MARKET OF OPEN DECENT SOCIAL NETWORKSMAKE ZUCKERBURG OPEN SOURCE facebook. NO ONE SHOULD BE THROWN OFF A SOCIAL NETWORK FOR TRYING TO FRIEND SOMEONE OR FOR POLITICAL SLANTS. YOU DON”T WANT TO FRIEND ME? FINE. I’M TIRED OF BEING CHAPERONED!

I’m existential about loving chaos or order… but see a design that is beyond cognition… the conceptual reverence between Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking in math is nothing but semiotics. One sees g-d, the other thinks there is math that he can not see. Does it matter what you call it? Even the Vatican looked at Hawking’s theories and had no qualms with it. The danger is when people stop looking because they are afraid of what they might find out. I am for pragmatic thinking… personal benefit… against supply side egalitarian moralism/”Leftism” because they have stopped looking. When it comes to desire, the libidinal, gender theory… it is the left who is afraid of what they might find. Follow Gloria Steinem close enough and you get Paris Hilton. Our understanding of our sexual nature was stunted the moment Anna Freud turned her daddies documents into a PR campaign. No wonder psychoanalysis has become a nightmare of Chemicals and Shock treatment?

I am now using web 0.0 social networking. I call it Judaism. I uninstalled the applications for Jesus, Mohammad, and Gloria Steinem. As much as I loved some of the people there, I found it easier not to network with them. I also uninstalled Vampires and Zombies. I hope to get some of the people back through my Blog.

I tried installing the Atheist Social Network. It wouldn’t run without an operating system.
